England women's 'keeper Sarah Taylor will make history when she becomes the first woman to play in a men's A-grade cricket match on Saturday Oct 17,2015

 
England Wicketkeeper Sarah Taylor will make history on Saturday Oct 17,2015 when she becomes the first woman to play in a men's A-grade cricket match in Australia.

Sarah Taylor will appear for the Northern Districts club against Port Adelaide on the opening day of a two-day match in South Australia's elite men's competition.

No woman has played in the competition since it began in 1987 and it is believed none has done so in a two-day match in a men's A-grade tournament in any other state.

Former Australia fast bowler Cathryn Fitzpatrick played one Twenty20 match for the Dandenong club in Victoria in 2006-07.

Sarah Taylor, who is the current ICC Women's International One-Day Cricketer of the Year, said she is "nervous and excited" about her debut.
